Mad Woman

"Nightmare, what do you mean by that?" Katakuri quietly moved his feet and stood in front of Roy.

Smoothie and her two companions held their breath and spread out around Roy, forming a pincer movement.

Roy didn't seem to care about their little antics, and just shrugged, saying, "Relax, don't be so tense, I was just joking."

"This is not funny at all." Katakuri's face was ashen as he pushed his Observation Haki to its limit, watching Roy's every move.

"I have no ill intentions in coming here, nor do I intend to start a war with you." Seeing that the four people before him were still not letting their guard down, Roy narrowed his eyes and said, "Besides, if I really had any ill intentions, what could the four of you possibly do? Stop me for even a minute?"

Smoothie and the other two were stunned upon hearing this. They had faced Roy's ferocious power directly. Although they did not faint like other family members, under the suppression of his Conqueror's Haki, they could only exert 70% of their combat power at most.

In addition, the three people following Roy are also strong individuals who are in no way weaker than them. In this case, they might not even be able to stop Roy for a minute.

"Are you serious?" Katakuri's expression softened slightly. He would absolutely not want to face an enemy like Roy unless absolutely necessary.

Roy had casually sent him and Enel to another world, but it left a deep impression on him. This meant that if Roy really wanted to do something to him, he could do it with just a flick of his finger.

"Although Big Mom has lost her mind now, she still has the foundation of Four Emperors. If I really spare no effort, I might be able to kill her, but the price would be something I'm not willing to pay. I've never been interested in things that harm others without benefiting myself."

Roy's candid remarks put Katakuri at ease. If Roy had offered a bunch of empty platitudes, they would have doubted Roy motives.

Indeed, Roy was momentarily tempted when he heard that Big Mom was suffering from Food Craving Disease, but after careful consideration, Roy gave up on the tempting idea.

After all, killing Big Mom wouldn't bring him much tangible benefit, and a Four Emperors's last-ditch counterattack would be absolutely disastrous, perhaps even leaving him at his weakest point.

The most crucial point is that the mastermind behind Pekoms is very likely still on the island. Roy doesn't know if Big Mom's sudden Food Craving Disease is also part of that person's scheme. If he acts rashly, and that person suddenly jumps out and throws out Caramel Puff Tower to bring Big Mom back to her senses, Roy will be completely dumbfounded.

"Caramel Puff Tower..." Just as the group hesitated and struggled, a large wave of zombies... Big Mom was approaching!

Smoothie was also shocked. "Katakuri, we can't let this go on, or Mom will destroy Whole Cake Island."

Katakuri was a decisive person, and he quickly made a decision. He bowed to Roy and said, "Captain Roy, I'm entrusting my mother to you. We will definitely get the Caramel Puff Tower out as soon as possible to help her regain her senses."

"Well, you guys better hurry up. I'm not the kind of person who takes a beating without fighting back. If Big Mom pisses me off, I won't hold back."

Hearing Roy's indifferent words, Katakuri's lips twitched, but he knew that this was the best outcome. If it were the other guys trying to stop their mother, they really wouldn't be confident of surviving in the hands of a mother who had lost her mind. After all, more than one or two of their own sons had died at their mother's hands.

Bigmom recklessly destroyed everything around him, the stomach acid that surged into his mouth dripping onto the ground with a "sizzling" sound.

"Who are you... are you Caramel Puff Tower?" Big Mom swatted at Roy in front of her with her thick arm as if swatting a mosquito.

"Is it even stronger than usual?" Roy dodged the whistling iron arm and shook his head, saying, "Unfortunately, it's completely unpredictable. A beast without intelligence is no match for a shrewd hunter."

As if enraged by Roy's dodge, Big Mom let out a terrifying howl, and like a wild beast pouncing on its prey, she unleashed a frenzied barrage of punches with both arms, swift as thunder and Inazuma, first leaving afterimages, and finally even those afterimages disappeared from everyone's sight.

It has to be said that characters of the Four Emperors level basically have no weaknesses. Even with Big Mom's clumsy physique, she still possesses speeds that surpass the Human Limit.

However, speed has always been Roy's advantage, coupled with his fully developed Observation Haki. Even with Big Mom's terrifying speed, she still couldn't touch the hem of Roy's clothes.

"Caramel Puff Tower... Sky Fire!"

Under Big Mom's control, it was as if a rain of fire was falling from the sky.

"Looks like his fighting instincts are still intact." Roy paused, instantly gripping the Seven Star Sword in his hand. Eerie flames soared into the sky, devouring all the flames summoned by Big Mom, before swirling and coiling towards Big Mom.

"Caramel Puff Tower... Ugh... This doesn't taste like Caramel Puff Tower!"

"What a joke! Legend has it that the flames in Nightmare's hands are hellfire that can burn souls, and Charlotte actually swallowed them whole!" Seeing Big Mom so ferocious that she even ate Roy's flames as a dessert, the King of Loan Sharks almost fainted from fright.

"Thank goodness Lord Roy lured Charlotte away, otherwise we would all have become Charlotte's food. It was terrifying." The Shipping King also seemed to be in shock. Although they had attended many of Big Mom's Tea Party, this was the first time they had directly intervened in Big Mom's Food Craving Disease.

As Roy repeatedly thwarted her, the increasingly irrational Big Mom grew more and more agitated, but Roy remained completely at ease. Compared to the previous "Five Emperors" melee, dealing with a Charlotte who had lost her mind was a piece of cake.

"Captain Roy, please step aside for a moment, the Caramel Puff Tower has arrived." Katakuri was worried that his mother would cause too much damage, and also worried that Roy might not be able to resist attacking his mother, so he rushed over without hesitation after getting the dessert.

Katakuri extended his glutinous rice arm infinitely, like a highly skilled "little animal" keeper, and accurately threw the Caramel Puff Tower in his hand into Big Mom's mouth.

"It's so delicious... this is the taste!" Big Mom held her face in her hands with a blissful expression... the face, and stopped her desire to attack and destroy. The dizziness in her eyes gradually subsided.

"Phew, I'm finally saved!" Queen of the Pleasure Quarter Stussy pounded her chest, causing a surge of waves, but unfortunately, everyone around was too shocked to appreciate it.

"Today was just the prelude to the Tea Party, and it's already turned into such a tumultuous event. I wonder if something big will happen tomorrow?" The King of Loan Sharks, Fielde, still looked shaken.

"So, wherever there are Nightmare, there will inevitably be turmoil and destruction?" The Shipping King Umit looked at Roy with eyes full of terror, vowing never to be under the same sky as this man again.

"No, where there are Nightmare, there's bound to be Big News Morgans!" Morgans was incredibly excited about the Big News Morgans, as if he could smell the wonderful scent of news.
